Middle row shoulder belts?

Anyone have, or have any suggestions on how to put, 3 point seat belts in the middle seat of my '72 Suburban? Were there OEM 3 pt. seat belts for the middle row? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There is a threaded hole on the body post to bolt the top anchor of the belt to.

All three rows have blind nuts there. Were they ever put in factory?

No,You would need to make a bracket.I have the original seats in.The holes in the rear brackets are threaded for lap belts.The old shoulder belts were a separate belt,didn't have a retractor,not like they are now.

Thanks again. I'm getting ready to tear my suburban down for paint and body. I want to go back with retractor type seat belts for the middle row. I'll figure something out.

My 05 Yukon XL has a shoulder strap for the middle seat. I am guessing the 99 up seats do as well. The driver's side mounts to the side of the burb because that seat folds forward. I plan to track down a wrecked burb and swap all the integrated belt seats in and only have to attach one belt to the truck, the rest are part of the seat.
